ESA will I go straight to support group

Hi I have been ill health retirement from my job and have applied for ESA should I send the report from the work pension as it states that I can never work due to my disability which was a tumour in my spine I can not walk without an aid and was only put in standard Mobility yet I can't walk much at all without cronic pain. I also have CKD 3a Fibromyalgia/CFS
And other stuff. I have worked since I was 16 and don,T know what I am doing. If someone can help many thanks

Many thanks for your help Gordon, I have been for my medical for ESA waiting to hear will keep you posted. One thing the assesser did say was based on the evidence she didn't know why I had been called for an assessment with the evidence I provided. Just a waiting game now.

Hi Gordon I have received a letter today saying that I have reached my 365 days contrabution based ESA , that I can ask for a mandatory consideration or appeal ect. Now two days previous I had received a letter from ESA again advising that they had not received my recent sick note. I gave them a call stating it was sent recorded and they signed for it on 23/02/17, the lady checked and agreed with me but said due to a back log in the area it had not been uploaded. Whilst I was on the line after she sorted the error and my payment for this week I told her I had been for an assessment on 1/03/17 she asked me to hold and said she could get into that screen. She came back to me advising I had been placed in the support group for 3 yrs and they needed no further sick notes but due to the back log could be a few days ect for the letter. I am now confused with this letter I received today about the contrabution based ESA, what do I do next?

Kind regards

Lisa
